Former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens on Monday predicted that Donald Trump will soon face a serious math problem.
“Trump lost by 7 million votes [in 2020],” Stevens told MSNBC’s Ali Vitali. “He needs new customers. What is he doing to attract new customers?”
Stevens said Trump has no new vision, promise or policy that brings new voters, which is why he is “stuck” at about 46 percent in polls, which is what he had in his losing 2020 campaign.
“Even when it was versus Biden after that bad debate, he still had trouble moving north of 47 percent,” he said.
Stevens ― who worked on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign and is now part of the anti-Trump Republican group the Lincoln Project ― said the election could still be very close in the end.
Or not.
“I think the more likely scenario is that this race is gonna be close until maybe Oct. 20th, 25th, and then I just think the bottom’s gonna start to drop out for Trump because he’s not acquiring new voters,” he said. “This is what happened to Carter in ’80, and I think there’s a lot of similarities here.”
Politics, he said, requires addition ― but Trump isn’t doing anything to add new voters.
